That exactly what this game is. This game isn't about some narrative surrounding becoming a fixer. This game is about living the life of Sammy Bangtail. Waking up in the morning, showering, eating, going to school, going to work, paying rent, maintaining health. If this isn't a life sim then nothing is, saying this isn't about simulating Sammy's life because the game contains some storylines is like saying that LifePlay isn't a sim because it contains storylines.

Alternatively, you could be an adult and just admit that you were wrong - at least about the "life sim" issue.

Different people get different things out of games, I can understand that...but the things you described as making a life-sim game are like...the exact things that take up a pretty good chunk of the player's time in managing? Tiredness, mood, confidence, education, and fitness are all mechanics that heavily influence what the player can and has to do, which are managed through sleeping, working (even more so once we have to actually start paying rent!), eating, having fun, going to school, and so on: if you don't properly manage those elements, you literally start to lose control over your character. I really can't understand how one could qualify DoL as a life-sim but not The Fixer here. If it's an issue of characters, sexual encounters, and storylines...DoL has those out the wazoo and I'm certain many people consider those to be the main draw of the game. To just flatly say NOT A LIFE-SIM kind of just comes across as satire: I really don't get it at all. It's like we're on a different planet here.
So sexual encounters are an extremely important part of porn life sim games, so not sure why you used it as some kind of counter example.
That leaves story. Which is definitely not the majority the current gameplay at all. You have the intro, and Haven I guess? But Haven is mostly doing life sim stuff while waiting to investigate. And then you have the soccer team, which is just socializing and drinking (life sim), the dance club (which is an actual plot so far), and the photo club, which isnt much of anything aside some lewd images at this point. And a bit of the junkyard siblings. And while this is all great so far, the main gameplay loop is wake up, get ready, go to school or your job, maintain your stats, find opportunities to get fucked, experience some bits of story, get clean, go to sleep, then start all over. The majority of your time (after the intro) is not reading story beats. And I would like to point out that character stories you experience a bit at a time like the dance club and the junkyard siblings are a staple of the life sim genre anyway.
Also, read basically any of the changelogs and compare how much story has been added vs how many mechanics dealing with day to day living in this world have been added/tweaked. Maybe there's a reason it seems to be skewed completely towards one of those directions almost every update.
TL;DR: Story is not at all the main focus of this game, either development wise so far or in the current core gameplay loop. If it was, this would be a visual novel, which it isn't.

Honestly I'd prefer to just remove preg entirely.
I use cheats to disable it for my character since i'm not into that, but i'd prefer if we could disable it for npcs too.
Having people be clipping out of their clothes because they don't have preg-art is just annoying. It messes with the dancing quest and it doesn't seem like there's any actual content involving other people being pregnant in the first place.
*shrug*
Just get rid of it. That's my two cents.

The fixer is a lite life sim visual novel open world game with storylines, why argue about this lol. Its a sex game who wants child raising wtf.
As for removing it, um no but you should have the option to disable it which you can use cheats to have.
But since it is a lite life sim then it makes sense.
Overall I want more sexual content in the game thats it.

Impregnation is hot. Pregnancy and it's consequences are not.
I did too, but I think it disables vaginal sex if you do, or prevents your player from having a creampie fetish.
Same thing if you use the birth control pills I believe.
Correct me if I'm wrong though, cause I wasn't too sure.
Not at all, there's a metric shit tonne of reasons Sammy can refuse vaginal sex but the pregnancy disabled cheat isn't one of them. I've got a pregnancy disabled Sammy with both the creampie lover and the baby crazy perk. She'll even tell the guy fucking her to put a baby in her but nothing happens.

as much for me I just put a generic comment to follow the news of the game, I marked "this game is good"
